OMFG…I do not know where Lisa Helen Gray has been. This is her debut novel and it knocked my socks off! Lisa is an amazing writer. She has a pure talent in pulling in the reader. I must have said a thousands time five more minutes and I just could not put this book down.
This book will touch anyone who reads it. It has a fair about excitement, emotional bond and a beautifully written love story. Lola and Dean interactions melted my heart. I enjoy a book with a lot of feelings this put me right inside both Lola and Dean souls. I love her writing style the words just flow together and was a very easy fast read and I think that is a big reason I will read this author again and again. This book come highly recommended I give it a 5 out 5 stars ~ Yolanda 

• I was fortunate enough to get to read this book in its many stages and I am so happy with how it turned out. 

This story is not your typical boy meets girl, boy and girl flirt and then they all live happily ever after. No. It has depth, grit, meat to it. I am going to sing the praises of this book without giving away too much, and if I do, you still NEED to read this. That's an order. 

See, in this particular story, girl meets suave,successful boy and falls for him. But this boy is an evil bastard. With a capital E. He is not the one she is meant for. No siree. Girl gets away, meets up with Prince Charming type who she has known all her life and then things get AMAZING!!!

All in all, not your typical HEA. I loved this book because it was about finding yourself, being a fighter, a strong woman who is a survivor. Eventhough you may have to kiss a bunch of retarded frogs, at the end of the line is your prince. This book, to me, is also about redemption, finding family where you would least expect it and not being afraid to face your demons. This book touched me personally and not just because I know the author. This book spoke to my heart and soul. It made me think long after I read it and it made me say a silent prayer to all the women out there who are strong or have to be as strong as the heroine in this book. 

Please, do yourself a favor and read this. Not once, but twice. You will not regret it! ~ M.A.Stone

• Okay 

I received this ARC in exchanged of an HONEST review

1st - I would like to say 2014 is becoming a year of so many amazing NEW authors!! And Lisa Helen Gray is one of them, in my opinion! 

This is her debut novel, and let me just say, with just the title, she had me hooked.

-If I could I would wish it all away- 
I would too; I think there isn’t a person in the world that wouldn’t! 
Everyone has secrets or little bits and pieces of ourselves we would like to change or erase!

This book is about Lola. This is her story! 
She went for what looked like the easy and safe relationship for her and she settled. For five long years she settled herself in an abusive relationship with Patrick “Rick” but for any reason what so ever I shall mention him as the BS! 

Lola is a very strong woman, I would like to say she should be the role model for all the women out there with an abusive relationships! You can, and you must say, enough is enough! It’s never too late to defend yourself and grab the reigns of your life!

And with that attitude Lola runs away from the BS and goes back to Cabe Lake, her childhood cabin! Where she feels connected to her deceased parents, and she reconnects with her parents old friends and her childhood crush! A place where she feels safe!

Here we meet, Dean, the childhood crush.. but he is not a boy anymore, with 6’2 he is all man! Dean is very protective of Lola, he is a caring soul and tries his best to bring the old Lola back, unfortunately to accomplish that he needs to take his time trying to make her leave the shell she created around her, in the same time trying to find what happen to her and of course breaking the walls she built around her heart and try to win it at the end! :)

Happy note: Lola gets her very well deserved HEA, the road to get there wasn’t easy, but I think the important message that I am taking with me from this is – WITH friends you can do EVERYTHING! -

This book was well written, we get to the very end living through the characters, getting all the emotions, their dreams, their wishes and regrets.
The book is about 130 pages so there isn’t time to put it down, it’s one of those books you just want to hug the MC and tell her everything will be alright at the end! As the writing, it was fast paced.. I read it in one-go! It had some really funny moments, some drama, a lot of OMG moments and a few moments where it made me want to get inside the book to shake some characters or stalk the author and shake her for making me so anxious. It can be described as a roller coaster of emotions, the plot was perfect, very good and supportive characters, yes there were some places where we get some missing details,and I would like a little behind the scenes about Lola past and her parents but as the author first book I can’t be too demanding, but I can honestly say I am intrigued where Lisa H. Gray will go next! And I can tell you I will be there to find out! 
I am really thankful for the chance of reading this before it got published and for the Author to trust me with her first babe! 5 STARS!! :) 
Something that i do with ALL my reviews - the songs I choose to describe this book are from The Fray -How to save a life and Bruno Mars- Count on me! ~ Lee Ching

• This is a story of starting over, second chances, and finally getting the love that you deserve. But sometimes it isn't always that easy, sometimes the past follows you. Lola is in an abusive relationship that she hasn't been able to escape for 5 years. When she is finally able to get away she moves back to her childhood cabin where her deceased parents best friends still live. Their son Dean, her childhood crush, is no longer a boy, but has grown into a hot as hell man. Old flames are rekindled. This book was emotional, heartbreaking, and had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. This is a great debut novel and I can't wait to read future books from this author! ~ Mandy
